FGV Strengthens Support for Local Livelihoods, Boosting Income for Independent Smallholders and FELDA Settlers

FGV Holdings Berhad (FGV), a leading agribusiness and one of the world’s top producers of crude palm oil, reaffirms its commitment to sustainability and human rights by enhancing the livelihoods of smallholders, including FELDA settlers and independent smallholders, through comprehensive support programmes aimed at increasing income and promoting sustainable practices.

In general, FELDA settlers and independent smallholders often encounter obstacles such as lower incomes, limited access to resources and training, and challenges in meeting sustainability standards. Recognising the challenges faced by these vital contributors, FGV engages with smallholders through targeted awareness campaigns, extensive outreach programmes, and technical advice on agronomy and industry training. These efforts seek to ensure that smallholders and settlers are well-equipped to meet sustainability-related requirements and thrive in the evolving palm oil industry and global market.
